EACC arrests Narok County surveyor for soliciting Ksh100,000 bribe
Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have arrested a Narok County surveyor for allegedly soliciting a Ksh100,000 bribe from a member of the public.
The commission confirmed on Friday, September 11, that the suspect allegedly demanded Ksh100,000 from a complainant to facilitate the identification of beacons between two parcels of land in Nairagie Enkare, Narok County.
Following preliminary investigations, the commission mounted an operation that led to the suspect’s arrest at the Narok County offices while receiving Ksh50,000.
The suspect was subsequently escorted to the EACC South Rift Regional Office in Nakuru for processing and statement recording ahead of her arraignment.
“EACC remains committed to tackling bribery and other forms of corruption at service delivery points and enhancing the quality of public services for all citizens,” the commission said.
The latest development comes amid heightened efforts by the anti-graft body to curb bribery and other forms of corruption in public service across the country.
Just a day earlier, EACC officers arrested two officers attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kipkelion Sub-County offices over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe.
The suspects allegedly demanded Ksh500,000 from a complainant in exchange for terminating a murder case against him.

Following preliminary investigations, the commission mounted an operation that led to their arrest while receiving Ksh120,000.
In another incident on Wednesday, September 9, EACC officers arrested two court staff in Eldoret and Nakuru in separate incidents involving allegations of soliciting bribes for court services.
In Eldoret, EACC arrested a Court Assistant attached to a Magistrate’s Court after allegedly receiving Ksh20,000 as part of a bribe sought to facilitate the issuance of a stay order stopping the auction of a parcel of land.
The arrest followed a complaint by a court user who alleged that a Magistrate had demanded Ksh50,000 to secure the stay order.
In a separate incident in Nakuru, EACC arrested a court process server attached to the Nakuru Law Courts Civil Registry for allegedly soliciting a bribe to allocate a convenient mention date for a complainant’s case.
The suspect was escorted to the EACC South Rift Regional Office in Nakuru for processing and later released on a cash bail of Ksh5,000 pending completion of investigations.
